| Household:
One or more people occupying a housing unit as their usual
place of residence. The occupants may be a single family,
one person living alone, two or more families living together,
or any other group of related or unrelated people who share
living arrangements. |
|
|
| Group
Quarters population:
All people not living in households. The Census Bureau recognizes
two general categories of people in group quarters: (1) the
institutionalized population and (2) the noninstitutionalized
population. The institutionalized population includes people
living in correctional institutions, nursing homes, hospitals,
juvenile institutions, and other institutions where residents
are under supervised care or custody. The noninstitutionalized
population includes all people living in college dormitories,
group homes, military quarters, and other noninstitutional
group quarters. |
|
|
| Own
children:
Own children include people under age 18 in the household
who are the sons or daughters of the householder by birth,
marriage (a stepchild), or adoption. |

poverty:
A person is “poor’ if they reside in a family
with income below the U.S. poverty threshold, as defined by
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Poverty thresholds
differ by family size and are updated annually for inflation
using the Consumer Price Index. However, they do not take
into account geographic differences in the cost of living. |
